Ant control is among the most common pest issues we treat in Park Slope. Family-dense brownstone blocks and the restaurant corridors along Fifth and Seventh Avenues keep food-source pressure high year-round.
Ant control in Park Slope: what to know
Park Slope's signature brownstones and limestone row houses are beautiful and old — the same deep voids, shared walls and original plumbing that make them charming also make them prone to rodents, ants and cockroaches moving between floors and homes.
The neighbourhood's location on the edge of Prospect Park means added seasonal pressure from rodents, mosquitoes and ticks, and from outdoor ants foraging indoors in warm months.
Family-dense brownstone blocks and the restaurant corridors along Fifth and Seventh Avenues keep food-source pressure high year-round.

- Ants appearing near old foundation cracks rather than just food-storage areas
How we treat ant control in Park Slope
Windsor Terrace's brick row houses and small pre-war apartment buildings give ants a specific way in: garden-level and basement apartments see ant trails entering around old foundations and window frames, a direct result of the older construction's original seals having settled or cracked over decades.
Sitting between Prospect Park and Green-Wood Cemetery, the neighbourhood also sees ants foraging indoors through the warm months as outdoor colonies near both green spaces expand and search for food and moisture — pressure that's higher here than in blocks farther from either edge.
